In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Irrespective of who you support Aguero has to be banned. Having just seen it again on SSN it's a clear and deliberate swing of the elbow.
Absolutely no chance he won't face a ban.

What a class man Guardiola is though, just shrugged it off that Aguero might miss the game as "so what".. Doesn't give the media and Sky what they want..
Other managers should take the same refreshing approach. You can't change it so why argue? Waste of oxygen..
I hate City so I hope Pep leaves them soon he's too classy for them.

I think he might get away with it just because he always does.
That should take all of 5 minutes. Never understood the delay in these type of things.
Assume it's to do with reading referee's report and asking him whether he saw it or not.
Anyone remember this?

The rules have changed for that if I'm not mistaken, so the FA can now take further action even if it was seen by referees.

That's true but that's only in extreme circumstances which hopefully yesterday's incident will be seen as such and the referee as punishment for not seeing something so obvious should be dropped for next round of games.
He's an absolute cnut but somehow has a squeaky clean image, he also got away with a stamp on Noble last season, prior to the Derby too.
I'm not one for conspiracies but I'd imagine the Premier League would prefer Aguero playing in their showpiece event. For them it's probably the biggest game of the entire season.
But I still expect the correct outcome, it's clearly a ban.

About time he was caught for something, nasty little cnut.
I'm sure it's probably been mentioned before, however, if this was Fellaini, he'd have been banned by now.
Aguero is an idiot. The City fans defending him elsewhere are idiots.
Now City will have to play against such an impressive back line (thus far) without their star striker but with a young kid or paceless KDB through the middle.
Bailly must be licking his lips at the prospect.
Again...Aguero is an idiot.

From the video the ref was looking right at it. I hope he says he didn't see it so they can take action though.
If it's like in France, as long as the referee doesn't mention the incident in his report the league can act and even then he can say that he isn't sure about his decision.
Aguero is a colossal idiot for doing what he did.
Sheep! was never going to mention it.
Hilarious, could have been much worse a ban if he'd caught him!I don't care if he's banned for the derby or not but i would like to see the FA showing some consistency. And for those who argue the elbow didn't make connection that argument won't hold as the rules punish for the intent as well. Scholes was red carded and served a three match ban for a swinging at Xabi Alonso and he was far from connecting.
.
In fairness to Xabi, he handled it well and I think he just walked off, from memory?
It's on most of the websites.

Yep. Tbf, the omissions could've been just a case of the 'papers going to press early.
Dermot Gallagher on SSN says it's a clear red card. Mentions his clenched fist so practically says no excuse. Says he doesn't know whether he'll face retrospective action due to the referee facing it so might have seen it.
If I was the FA and the ref says he saw that and took no action I'd ban him for 3 games.
if the ref has seen that, then he's in the wrong job.
Has to be a ban but I can see how refs struggle. From the first angle it looks like he was trying to knock teeth out and from the second it looks like any other tussle for a high ball.
Deserves a three game ban for that. The outcome of this sets a precedent. If he gets away with this, it'll give players carte blanche to elbow opponents like Aguero did yesterday and get away with it.

Is there a time frame on when the decision will be made?
I can't see what Aguero did wrong
Absolutely agreed. It has nothing to do with the derby
Try Specsavers.
He isnt going to get banned, its wishful thinking on anybodies part to think otherwise.
We will beat them regardless of if he plays or not at OT, their defense is shite.

FA will know that kind of the shitstorm awaits of them if after all the spotlight the episode received Aguero won't be banned.
Moreover, it will spark an excuse to point out for managers in the future and the story would be brought up again and again every time FA will feel like banning other players for similiar assaults.
Hence at this moment now I can't see Aguero escaping the punishment unless FA are totally out of their minds and have no realisation of upcoming consequences of such decision.

Apart from clinching his fist and swinging his elbow to hurt Reid, he did nothing wrong
Only on a United forum would so many people claim Aguero to be some massive cnut who is supposedly getting away with elbowing someone or stamping on them every week.
He is a massive cnut because he plays well for City, the rest is anecdotal.
Could you quote all the people who've been saying Aguero gets away with elbowing and stamping people every week? You seem well versed with this thread so this shouldn't be too hard.
So it's a win-win situation for us?
Nobody claimed that, he's a cnut though, he's tried this type of shit before as provided with couple of videos in this thread, trying to explore David Luiz's cavern being the most notable and funny one.
You're making stuff up.
